A three way table top in front of the rostrum would be superb and would give so many options for tracks. For me we need more level changes. It's just too flat.

Agreed but I think the club is saving up for a brick race control.

I also agree wi gav the track is flat and also I reckon not as universal as first planned
That's problem why people were saying the track at the regional was the same as the previous week
Cos in essence it probably was
Track needs heavily modifying , we've had this bowling green two years now
I'd go as far to say as the old track had more variety of lay

Jumps features and some remodelling rembefore brick clubhouse/ rostron in my opinion any way

And the cross is too savage, the banked corner a little ineffective and the hop up in the right hand corner is well there's a few things wrong with that either the take off wants to be higher or the face shallower.

But Rogers meet and the regional have still been the best organised and run meetings of the year so well done for that either way.

If its not broke dont fix it, this is the case for the rostrum and cabin.
As for the track, said at the start of the year it needs a new feature.
Have been going to southport more than id like, just for a change of track.
Theres so much potential for this track, it just needs to be re modelled.
And with this you'll find alot more drivers coming racing, instead of the same faces.

Guys broxtowe is the same age as our track and now holds nationals and look at it.
http://www.broxtowemcc.org.uk/Hall%2...e10/index.html

It's brilliant. I've raced it and its a proper off road track. Level changes, flowing table tips and whoops. This is what bmrcc need to aim for. There's no reason why we can't.
Not that we need to aim to hold nationals but to have our local track a similar level would be superb and would attract more members/racers.
I agree the rostrum isn't a priority, a roof for the rostrum would be more needed, something similar to the welded roof we contructed on the old rostrum would be ideal and reasonably cheap.

I also think we need more features and mods to old ones, it just wont happen with the level of support the club gets on a track day, seen it too many times before.

Big three way mound infront of the rostrum, sleeping policemen to be turned into a take of and land deep rutted double, dome in the middle to be re-surfaced in pattern imprinted concrete,and a chicane on the straight(removable).part of the cross removed to make a straight line the make a new fresh parallel line 2 feet apart and smoothed.

I reckon would be a good start! Please give us the money mr committee men
